New Delhi: Delhi Police has arrested one more person in connection with the leakage of Common Admission Test (CAT) paper for Indian Institutes of Management, raising to five the number of persons arrested by it in the case.

Rajiv Gupta, who hails from Patna, was arrested in an East Delhi area today (November 27) by the Crime Branch's Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Deputy Commissioner of Police (EOW) Dinesh Bhatt told reporters.

Bhatt said Gupta was allegedly responsible for luring candidates to buy the question papers.

He used to operate under several assumed names like Rajiv Saxena and Rajesh while dealing with prospective candidates, the DCP said, adding he was the one who was directing Rajesh Suchand over mobile phone when a police nabbed Suchand and three others using a decoy on last Saturday night (November 22).

Gupta has claimed that he was a B.Tech student in a Delhi college but investigations are on to ascertain his background, Bhatt said.

He was produced before a local court which remanded him to police remand till December 4.

The EOW DCP said arrests were likely as raids were being conducted at various places in the country by the police sleuths.

Police also took remand of three accused Bharat Bhushan, Arvind Kumar and Rahul from judicial custody for their further interrogation. They were arrested when EOW sleuths raided a hotel in Mahipalpur on Delhi-Gurgaon road on last Saturday night, hours before the CAT examination.
